Adrian Peterson says he was slapped in the face yesterday during the Vikings loss to Washington. He tells the Star Tribune that Resdskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall smacked him in the first quarter after a tackle. AP got in Hall’s face, saying “I looked him in the eyes and he knew I meant business."

As for Hall, he disputes what happened on the field. In his words, via USA Today, "that's just asinine."

A few of the Vikings' offensive stars were banged up during the week of practice, but they look like they'll be ready to go full speed on Sunday. Percy Harvin and Adrian Peterson were full participants in Friday's practice, but Jerome Simpson remains questionable with a back issue.

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says he’s “ready to get hit.” But AP is still on the sidelines, rehabbing his left knee. He won’t play Friday night in the first pre-season game in San Francisco, but head coach Leslie Frazier says Peterson is still on track to play in the season opener.

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says the charges filed against him in Houston have been dropped. Peterson was accused of resisting arrest inside a city nightclub last July, with police claiming he shoved and off-duty officer. Peterson told ESPN today: “They dropped the charges ... thank God.”
